Nev. Supreme Court upholds Reno murder conviction

CARSON CITY, Nev. 
The Nevada Supreme Court has upheld the first-degree murder conviction of a man who gunned down another man near downtown Reno in July 2006.

A three-judge panel Tuesday ruled against Donald Lynn Deloney, who argued his conviction should be overturned on numerous grounds, including insufficient evidence, faulty jury instructions and discovery violations.

Deloney's first trial for the killing of Calvin Johnson ended in a mistrial.

After a second trial in September 2008, he was convicted by a jury of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon and sentenced by a judge to two life prison terms.
